Welcome to the living word of God in acts chapter 5 verse 14 and they agreed with him and they had they had called for the apostle and beaten them they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus and let them go they let them go they could do nothing further than that oh I tell you brothers and sisters when you work for God God will always be there to save us verse 41 so they departed from the presence of the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name’s sake oh brothers and sisters are we committed to the ministry like the gospel apostles
that we count suffering and shame and challenges worthy for his name sake for the glory of God for Jesus sake we count all those suffering and shame and pain worthy and it says they went rejoicing are we rejoicing in the ministry are we rejoicing when trials and temptations and trouble comes our way knowing that God is victorious knowing that God is with us and verse 42 and daily in the temple and in every house they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ they were beaten they were threatened
but it says they did not fail to preach the gospel it says they did not cease teaching and preaching in the temple house to house oh brothers and sisters if we are truly the followers of Christ we will never never cease to preach and to teach everywhere we go with our words with our actions with our thoughts we will continue to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ may that be our experience today until Jesus comes . Amen
